IMPROVED MODE OF SEQU'RING- LASHES IN FLY-NETS,

The-Schedule referred to in these Letters Ptent and part'f the same To all whom it may concern- Be it known that I, MOSES HEILMAN, of'Lebauon, iii the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Leather Fly-Nets.; and I do hereby declare that t;ie followiu g is a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and letters oii'eference marked thereon, making a part of this specification, in' which- Figure 1 is a plan view ofthe upper side of the lash and loops;

Figure 2 is a pla-n view of the under side of the saine; and K Figure 3 is an end elevation ofthe same.

This invention consists in so' combining the lashes and ribs ol' ,a fly-net, that each lash is first passed through theliole in each rib from beneath upward; is then bent once around the rib, forming a cross-cord on its under side, then passed through the same hole from above, downward, and then led to the next rih, forining on each rib two side loops, in neit-her of which is there a crossing 0i' one part of the lash by another.

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, 1 now proceed to describe.- its constructioii audoperation.

Similar letters in thedrawings refer to like parts.

A is the leather ribof al'ly-net, and a a are the leather lashes ruiming parallel across, and connecting the ribs.

In fastening the lashes t-o the ribs, the end of the lash is first inserted through the hole from beneath, upward, forming the branch a", and the'lash is' drawn as far Ias required. It is then doubled around one edge of the rib, passed underneath it, forming a cross-cord, l), doubled round the other edge, and then passed again through the hole, this time from above, downward, and, passing to the opposite yside of the cross-cord from the branch a.,.is thence led to the next rib.

On drawing the lash tight about the rib, it forms two loops, c e', in neitherof which is therev a crossing of two parts of the lash.

In this respect my manner of connection differs from that shown by D. W. Hurst, in his patentoi` July 21,

1868. His lashes cross the loops, and thus tend to`
